First brainwashing, Hero Spades (4)

What Apple showed was a completely black video.

I can't see anything.

It was pitch black.

I couldn't figure out what on earth was being filmed, so I wondered if the wrong video had been played.

When I slightly raised my gaze and asked with my eyes, Apple still said that was correct and made a gesture as if asking me to continue looking.

『You need to pay attention. You can see it if you look closely.』

Apple spoke through the earphones.

Since the earphones have poor sound insulation, I put them close to my ear and whispered, and my voice was heard through the earphones.

Rather, I don't think there's any sound from the earphones.

This video actually had sound in the first place... ?

I thought it sounded like a conversation... .

'… … … huh? I feel like I can hear something... ?'

Feeling like my ears had barely caught something, I listened to the mechanical sound beyond the earphones.

It also sounds like something is mumbling.

An ambiguous sound, as if there were a wall.

I tried to turn up the volume to listen more closely, but I was shocked to find that it was already at maximum and I couldn't turn it up any further.

『Mr. Spade, please focus on the screen.』

Apple's voice was heard again.

… Sure enough, something was faintly visible in a corner of the screen where there seemed to be nothing.

It seems like something is sparkling, or… .

It was so faintly, faintly shining that it strangely caught my eye.

If you put a dot on a piece of drawing paper, your eyes will naturally focus on it. I guess it's a similar principle.

'It's moving…' .'

The twinkling light slowly moves.

Not only did it simply move, but a faint trace was left behind, like a tail.

After a while, I vaguely realized that it was drawing some kind of pattern or picture.

… … For some reason, I feel dizzy.

『Mr. Spade, what kind of picture does it look like?』

Not yet… I don't know… .

We'll have to wait and see... .

『Yes, then please watch slowly and slowly.』

『Until you can figure out what the picture is.』

okay… .

slowly… .

… … … … …

… … … …

… …

what… … ?

No. 13… To arrest... … … …

Gotta go… … … …

* * *

"… Hey, how many shots should it take?"

Number 13 grumbled and walked back to the storage room where Apple and Spades were, leaning on the wall of the hallway.

The shock hasn't gone away yet and my legs are shaking, but there are no serious injuries.

Feeling frustrated, I pulled out the bulletproof vest from under the hood I was wearing.

In addition to rubber bullets, even spade kicks.

In many ways, he was a mess from enduring it, but thanks to that, No. 13 didn't even break a single bone with his bare body.

However, it didn't completely relieve the shock, so to be honest, I didn't have much strength in my legs right now.

Still, by the time we reached the storage room, the numbness in my body had gradually subsided.

'I think it went well.'

Near the threshold of the storage room, I looked at the spade frozen while staring blankly at my smartphone, and felt a joy that outweighed the pain.

"(No. 13! You succeeded☆!)"

Apple, standing next to Spade, hushed her voice and made a V-shape.

Both eyes were shining brightly, and they looked genuinely happy.

It's crazy that he's so happy after trapping his fellow hero.

Since he is actually being controlled through brainwashing, it may be true that he is not in his right mind.

"Good job, good job."

"Ahaa~☆ Please praise me a lot☆ I did really well, right? "You did really well, right?"

"Okay, okay. You did a great job. "You did really well."

Let's lightly pat Apple's head as she clings to her like a puppy and rubs her cheek.

Apple's cheeks relax and she smiles, as if she is very happy about that alone.

He looked like he was truly happy.

* * *

If I had to explain it, the trap itself was double-layered as you can see.

Let's lock him in a warehouse and subdue him with brainwashing gas… That was the plan for No. 13.

Although it was all the staff who fleshed out this and that, and even suggested specific locations and methods.

It was all the staff's plan to set a tight time and place a bomb (like toy) in front of Apple to draw Spade into the room defenseless.

――『This alone makes me a little uneasy.』

However, a true strategist prepares a second or third move in any situation.

In case the gas didn't work, he even planned to use the brainwashed Apple to induce Spade's actions.

I can't help but say that it was truly thorough.

Initially, the staff told me to leave it in the gas for 30 minutes.

I was thinking about whether I would suffocate or whether it was really okay, and ended up opening the door after 10 minutes.

This is entirely Trolling by No. 13.

I was deeply reflecting on that.

'No, he said with his own mouth that he could last for an hour anyway…' 'It's not some kind of dolphin.'

Are you a monster?

Even in the gas, Apple was given anti-brainwashing medication to ensure that it was fine, and the third and fourth measures were additionally devised by the staff.

In addition, I had prepared a means of escape, so there was no way I would fail.

Anyway, it was a heartbreaking battle in many ways.

"So, you're in the right place now, right?"

"Of course☆ Please trust this Apple☆"

"… … "You look very happy."

"It's because I really enjoy following No. 13's orders☆ Reward… Please give me a reward... I'm looking forward to it… ♡"

How on earth did Dorothy massage this woman's head to create such a state of chaos?

She has the air of a demure older sister with braided hair and round glasses, but her speaking style and voice are like star candy that bounces around, so it breaks me in many ways.

'No, no, now it's more about spades than that.'

I threw away useless thoughts and turned my attention from Apple to Spade.

Spade is now in a defenseless state, just standing there blankly listening to brainwashing videos and music.

It would be okay to move on to the next step like this, but... .

According to Dorothy's manual, visual brainwashing tools are not effective.

To be sure, you'll need to drive in one more wedge here.

"No. 13, here☆"

At that moment, Apple, who was standing next to me, held out a bottle of brainwashing medicine and a pretty embroidered handkerchief.

I was just thinking that I needed it, but she is a quick-witted woman.

It would be a shameful thing for this woman to use that quick wit to discredit her colleagues.

"Uh, thank you."

Anyway, grateful for the consideration, No. 13 patted Apple's head once more and accepted the brainwashing medicine and handkerchief.

Spade is still standing still, looking at his smartphone as if he were going to eat it.

The two wide-open eyes are not even blinking.

It was as if she was a wax doll, but the slight rise and fall of her chest every time she breathed showed that she was alive.

Because if you block your view, you may escape from the doll state you are in now.

Very carefully, No. 13 covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in brainwashing medication.

I was staring blankly at my smartphone screen, staring at a meaningless video that was just a curved line, and my eyes were slowly losing strength.

Soon, Spade's body fell limply into Number 13's arms.

* * *

'approximately… 'Do you think it worked well?'

On the chair where Apple had been restrained a moment ago, Spade was breathing evenly with his eyes half closed.

The field of view is empty, and there is no response even when you touch it from the side.

"… … ."

I look at the spade again.

A pitch-black top that opens and closes with a zipper, with the stomach clearly visible.

And shorts that show off your thighs.

The clothes were too revealing in many ways for a civil servant, and the tight fabric clearly revealed the curves of the body.

The pure white skin that protrudes from the small combat uniform and the healthy thighs that extend beneath the pants attract my attention without realizing it.

A hero who is far from dirty is now sitting defenseless like this.

At that sight, I felt like my brain was shaking for some reason.

"spade. Spade?"

I called out, but the drug-soaked spade got no response.

He placed his hand on Spade's defenseless thigh. I can feel the healthy elasticity sticking to my palm.

I raised my hand, which had been smoothing my thighs, and pulled up the bottom of Spade's shorts as if lifting them up.

The folded groove between the crotch and the scarlet, scantily clad panties were visible.

I removed my hand from Spade's pants and this time stroked his pretty face.

The spade pattern on her cheek can be said to be her trademark.

Including its pattern, this hero called Spades had a strange charm that drew attention.

The confident gaze that was always visible is now hazy, like there is fog.

I feel an inexplicable decadent atmosphere in the defenseless appearance of the hero who always has a strong attitude.

After touching his face for a moment, No. 13 licks his brightly colored lips,

Soon, we lightly kissed our lips.

Even after doing this, the spade still doesn't respond.

This time, I held out my hand and touched that chest that had a clear curve even over the combat uniform...

"No. 13. "If you take too long, Mr. Spade will wake up."

Just before my hand touched the chest that seemed to be tempting me, I barely came to my senses from Apple's words.

That's right, because the hypnotic state caused by the brainwashing tool only lasts for a short time.

"… … okay."

Feeling a little disappointed, No. 13 immediately prepared to inject brainwashing suggestions into Spade.
